1. Bentonite Clay: The Most Powerful Ingredient

   Volcanoes do more for the planet than what we give them credit for. We all know that they are responsible for forming the continents and providing us with solid ground to live on. What most people do not know is that they also give us a particular clay that has powerful healing properties. This clay has its origin from deep within the earth.

   As volcanic ash settles on the ground, it ages and when comes into contact with water from rainfall, it forms a very special clay, Bentonite Clay. The reaction of water with the volcanic ash keeps the mineral content intact, making it rich in calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium.

   Bentonite Clay’s healing and purifying properties are unmatched by none of the other clays naturally found on the planet. Its level of purity
   depends on where the Volcano Ash settles and how it is then dried up into a powder. Soveral’s bentonite clay comes from the purest of places left on the planet directly to be used in our Transformative Mask, Volcano Ash.

   Did you know that way back in the Roman times Clary Sage leaves were used to fortify their wine during those wild parties of the aristocrats! The Romans had somehow stumbled upon the fact that Clary Sage’s narcotic properties were enhanced when added to alcohol!!

   On a more health conscious note, it also has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, allowing for its other rejuvenating properties to get to work in a relaxed environment. The ingenuity of this herb is remarkable. It works in synergy with the body and mind, creating the most adequate environment for its healing soldiers to get to work. Restoring the skin by reducing inflammation and warding off bad bacteria.

   This oil is so powerful oil, that in large quantities it has the strength to bring on an overdue birth!

   From putting you sleep to inducing childbirth, Clary Sage is definitely in the running for the king or queen of the essential oils.

   Clary Sage can be found in Soveral’

   An untapped source of antioxidants that have the power to repair skin damage from too much sun and revitalise skin that has been under the pressures of smoke, bad nutrition, too much alcohol and the effects of harsh environments. This is the perfect post-holiday solution. Packed with Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B and E this is a super food for the skin. Research also indicated that Carrot Seed oil may be very effective in treating psoriasis and eczema.

   We have been using Carrot Seed Essential Oil in our Forever Young Face oil for nearly 10 years… no wonder it got voted Best Oil of Year by Harpers Bazaar!

   We have now developed a Limited Edition Body Oil to help with the aftermath of holiday fun. Its rich in lots of repair nutrients. To reinforce the power of the Carrot seed Oil we matched with Chamomile that is perfect to bring down inflammation and Orange Peel Oil to give the skin a wonderful healthy glow.
